Objective: Analyze two potential designs for a retaining wall (requested by a client). Determine which is a better design based on strength and cost considerations. The two designs in consideration are pictured below: Design 1: front view Design 2: front view Design 1: top view Design 2: top view that the number of 2X4 boards in the diagrams above is not necessarily accurate. der to perform a strength analysis on the wall, you must determine the force applied on the wall by force is difficult to measure explicitly, but theory gives us the pressure due to soil on the Note the following expr wall. The soil pressure changes as a function of depth d, given by ession- e defined as the specific weight (or weight per volume) of the soil. Based on your knowledge een pressure (which is like stress) and force, you can find the force per length where Vs i of the relat and moment. applied to the beam and then the internal shear force igned such that the soil height will be 1 foot below the top of the retaining wall. t any external moments that the screws and nails would provide to the moments ths. To simplify your analysis, neglect boards.
